Claudia Hanna

Everything we eat has a story to tell. What does our food say about who we are, where we come from, and about the way we live? How does it help us connect with neighbors and understand foreign cultures? Aside from being delicious, why do we care so much about food? We take a look into the world’s pantry and come back with incredible stories. In each episode, Mediterranean lifestyle expert Claudia Hanna travels the globe to offer savory (and sound-rich) stories of how much food means and has meant to all of us.

If This Food Could Talk

What makes a cake unforgettable isn’t just the recipe — it’s the memory it carries.

In this episode of If This Food Could Talk, Claudia Hanna sits down with legendary baker and James Beard Award–winning author Dorie Greenspan to talk about the stories behind her beloved book Dorie’s Anytime Cakes. From a life-changing strawberry tart in Paris to honey cakes baked by her grandmother, Dorie shares how curiosity, simplicity, and memory shape the way she bakes — and the way she lives.

This is a conversation about cakes that sit on the counter, meant to be shared with coffee, conversation, and the people you love. About baking as architecture, recipes as storytelling, and why food has the power to keep us connected across generations.

Because sometimes, the most meaningful food isn’t made for a celebration — it becomes one.
